Hermes Singapore

This thread is NOT a chat thread.

We have had so many reports about OT unrelated topics that have nothing to do with Singapore H stores.

If you are not writing on something pointedly pertaining to a Singapore store (only) please post in the appropriate thread(s)

U have to meet an SA who is willing to add you to the q. If that happens, no need for any purchase. Just need to wait. But I think it’s good to get a small thing to start a profile. Otherwise, the SA might not offer contact number and you won’t be able to follow up with the SA. But if you are chill about it, then doesn’t matter.

Thank you for your advice!! Appreciate it. I think I'll just visit a local boutique and see how it goes.

Best is to ask your SA in person the next time you are in store. I’ve heard of people waiting longer for their KTG than their QBs, but also those who got KTG quite quickly. Similar for prespend, it seems that it depends. My SA counts SLGs up to a cap (I didn’t ask what was the exact percentage/amount) but someone shared here previously that their friend’s SA excludes SLGs from prespend.

Ah I see; yes, sounds like the surest way would be to check with my SA in that case :smile: Thanks so much!

A 1:1 spending for GP is abit much if there's nothing else you like, ie buying for the sake of prespend. Depends largely on how urgent and how much you like it! Try sg stores/online, I've had the opportunity to purchase one without prespend but I do have a profile already.

is the prespend ratio for the cargo birkin roughly the same as a normal b? my dream will be a porc skin or cargo b 25 next...

yes almost the same for normal b's, my sister was asking for the shadow actually, but was offered the cargo! I would love to have a porc skin too!
last year, we met a couple of ladies during the sale at MBS, and they also said that letting your SA know your bag wish list helps the SAs speak with the store manager (SM).
This year I am aiming for one bag only! And that is an ombre.....
And the rtws are so colourful this season! enjoy the shopping ladies! :smile:

Hi all, I’m desperately trying to get a b25 from the boutique. Could you guys share any tips, prespend, categories, which boutique is easier to obtain etc. I’m trying to get it for my birthday this year but I don’t really trust resellers so I don’t feel comfortable going that route. Please share any tips that can help! I’m currently shopping at taka store with 1 sa and there’s just no stocks for anything. Im desperate guys! Please help me! Thanks

The key to shopping in boutique is patience. Hermes doesn’t go by anybody’s timeline. Currently the wait time at sg boutiques can be as long as 1 year even after prespend.

If you very urgent, u just ask ur SA to bring out anything that she can sell u.

Maybe u can aim for your next birthday.

Happy new year ladies! I wanted to pop in to thank those of you who helped me figure out where to shop in Singapore.
I visited both Liat, where I bought a sweater (near my moms new place; she hasn’t moved in yet) and MBS where DH bought a sports jacket (near my hotel). SAs were very kind and welcoming bc I made it clear that I was only looking to fill in pieces of random available RTW, and I already have a local US and FSH SA for leather. Thank you again

forgot to add that I searched the forum for Singapore Hotels close to the various H locations, and I couldn’t find a specific post, or a summary of the H branches, so I am adding below in case it helps others (as a newcomer, i would welcome correction in case I am in error). I hope it is okay to post this here

Liat (and takashimaya) are close to the Four Seasons; Hilton; St Regis; and Tanglin Club. Though the flagship, Liat has more of a laid back vibe IMO. Short ride to Como Dempsey (Candlenut and Culina). I hit it off with an SA there, and I will probably return to him the few times a year that I end up back in Singapore. The vibe seemed to be more like meatpacking in NY than Madison Ave, but that was just my impression.

Taskashimaya H seems to have more of a lux mall Orchard st vibe. Also seems to have more lines, perhaps bc it’s in Takashimaya, and also close to Imperial Treasure etc. Chanel has a virtual queue, so I think it’s hard to schedule shopping H and chanel without appt, unless you do not mind waiting. I think the bookstore is here. To be honest, I didn’t feel like waiting since I was happy with my Liat and MBS experiences.

MBS (financial district) is close (7 minutes walking) to the Fullerton Bay Hotel; Fullerton Hotel; and Raffles, and there seems to be a lux glitzy tourist or expat atmosphere to the MBS mall in general. The SA was also very nice here, but I didn’t get the same sense of rapport despite buying a more expensive item. I have no sense of direction, so if you are at the concierge desk, go down the escalator to B2 and then walk past Zara, past the water feature, bridge, casino, and gondola, to get to H. Half an hour after H opens on a weekday morning, a line forms. The entire mall was overwhelming to me, but there is a Din Tai Fong. If someone adores bucellati, the branch in MBS seems much larger than Madison Avenue.

ETA: Liat has a black box calvi available if anyone is looking

Also, i always establish a profile using DHs info. I assumed that my purchases, including three QBs from 2022 (NY and FSH) would pop up, but they did not.

Thanks @880 for this generous summary. I am going in two weeks so this is very timely. The box calvi would sadly be long gone, I assume, hahaha. Enjoy Singapore!

PS: Yes, the bookstore Kinokuniya is in the same building.
